Session Summary

Designing for Impact: Design Choices in Teacher Education Research

Fri, April 9, 4:10 to 5:40pm EDT (4:10 to 5:40pm EDT), Division K, Division K Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Invited Roundtable

Abstract

Despite calls for more evaluative research in teacher education, formal assessments of the effectiveness of novel teacher education practices remain rare. One reason is that we lack designs and measurement approaches that appropriately meet the challenges of causal inference in the field. In this interactive symposium, we will briefly discuss key practices for developing measures of key teaching outcomes, then describe evaluative research designs for the field to consider. Then we will break into groups to discuss whether and how these measures designs might be implemented in practice.
